Olivia just reached her house, she can already hear the news about their concert just an hour ago. She rolled her eyes playfully then she peeked at the window and saw her Gram watching. She knocked at the door while settling her bag beside her. Gram opened the door with a big smile. 'Gram," Olivia said and gave er a hug. Gram laughed and hugged her back. "Come now, Olivia. You must be tired," her Gram coaxed. Olivia grabbed her bag and shrugged, "Dead tired!" Then proceeded inside.
"I just heard the news about your another succesful concert," her Gram complimented when she saw olivia well-rested in the recliner. "Yeah, I know," Olivia replied sheepishly. "Well," her Gram looked at the wall clock, "- if you want to go to bed now..." Olivia stood up and yawned, "Okay Gram. Night." She started walking towards her room. "Olive, dear," her grandmother saod. She stopped halfwway and turned. "I left the phone in your bed. There's a call I think you're glad to see," she winked. Olivia smiled then went on.
"Oh. My. Gosh!" Olivia cried out. Her phone flopped on her bed. She grabbed it and sat on her bed excitedly. Her dad gave her a voicemail. Well, not exactly her dad but the police chief there. He knew his name and phone number. The police chief wouldn't give a call to them if the news is bad. Well, maybe yes but her Gram said it might be a call she was glad to see. So she concluded it was her dad. She closed her eyes and exhaled deeply. '"Ready," she stared at the phone and clicke dthe 'view' button. A voice suddenly came:
"Is this on?" Olivia's eyes started to tear up when she heard her father's voice after a long time. "Oh, it's on. Hello, Olive dear. It's me, your dad. 'is been a long time, no? I bet you're wondering how I'mgiving you this voice mail. But first, congrats tou your concert tonight! We saw you on t.v. You rock! Uh, I guess that's a teen word that I shouldn't be saying." Olivia laughed at her dad's foolishness. "Then the officer knew that I'm your dad so he let me have a word with you. So, i just want to tell you that you've grown so much now, Liv. You're a beautiful, beautiful, lady. Just like your mom. Olivia, I'm very sorry for not thinking straight back there. I never thought it was going to be hard for you. But now, as far as I'm concerned, you were persistent and you never gave up. Today, you're a lead singer of a world- famous band! I'm so proud of you! Olivia smiled in between tears.
"Well, this might be longer than I thought." Olivia frowned a bit. it means that the message would end. 'Well Olive. Don't worry. I'll be out before your graduation so that I'll be the one who'll stand by my daughter at the stage, holding her diploma. Oh, the phone is needed already. So, I hope you're gonna be happpy. I promise I'll be a dad you longed for 8 years. Take care of your Gram. I love you Olivia!" *click*
Olivia stared at the phone in awe. She smiled from ear-to-ear. Inside, she was screaming for joy. She can't believe it, her father will be out before graduation! Well maybe when ishe's a senior so that's still long but now she's certain that he'll come back! Olivia placed the phone on the table. She grabbed a pillow and started hugging it. "Love you too, dad."
She looked at her curtainless window, the sky was so bright with all those shining stars. She smiled. Being in the band wasn't a bad idea after all, she thought. Well, there were some slips and flaws that occured. But hey, she became popular and got to hang out with her band mates/ true friends and it all started in dentention. A chance that only happens in one lifetime. Especially in detention.
